Eagles rehatched: Six albums reissued in vinyl box set

Eagles fans, crank up your turntables. 'Eagles: The Studio Albums 1972-1979' ($150), with six albums originally issued on Asylum Records, will be released in a limited-edition vinyl box set on Oct. 29.

'The Studio Albums' revisits the Eagles' early career in six pivotal albums reissued on vinyl.

Six Eagles albums released on Asylum Records will be released in a limited-edition vinyl box set on Oct. 29. Eagles: The Studio Albums 1972-1979 ($150) includes Eagles, Desperado, On The Border, One Of These Nights, Hotel California and The Long Run.

Each LP, on 180-gram vinyl, features replicas of the original packaging, with two upgrades. The Eagles sleeve will be released as the band originally intended, without glue flaps so the cover unfolds into a poster (as described in this year's History of the Eagles documentary). And Hotel California will contain a replica of the poster from the original release but the band photos by Norman Seeff are in full color for the first time.

The six-LP set, limited to 5,000 copies, is housed in a numbered slipcase with a gold-foil stamp of the band's logo.

The period spawned the band's biggest hits, from Take It Easy and Peaceful Easy Feeling to One of These Nights, Lyin' Eyes, Heartache Tonight and Life in the Fast Lane.

The Eagles, with a lineup that has included Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Don Felder, Timothy B. Schmit, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, have sold more than 120 million albums worldwide. The band's record-breaking History of the Eagles tour launched July 6 and continues through January.
